What reviewers say ??
With more than 3,700 perfect reviews, this hair dryer is a fan favorite among Amazon shoppers.
Pros ??
"I was so surprised with the quality of this blow dryer!" raved a satisfied reviewer. "It's a bargain at the price they are charging. I love the magnetic attachments! The handle twists to fold down to make it super compact and easy to pack for travel. It's powerful, not super noisy, sleek, very close to the very expensive Dyson."
"I want to start out by saying that I have a LOT of hair," said a second shopper. "It's thick and long, so I usually let it air dry because I hate how long it takes to blow dry. With that said, I do have times when I have no other option than to blow dry my hair, especially since I recently cut curtain bangs that require more styling. ... I was instantly attracted to this because it reminded me of one that Dyson sells, but it is way too expensive for a hair dryer. Figured I'd give this a try and I love it! I am shocked at how light it is and how quiet it is. I was so used to my old one that I just thought that's how all hair dryers were, but boy was I wrong! Very happy with this purchase for a small fraction of the cost of these other brands."
"This hair dryer fits well in my hand, isn't heavy at all," wrote another grateful user. "The dryer does a great job drying my hair. Let me add another great point. I have issues sometimes holding objects due to arthritis and wrist pain. This works really well for me. It not heavy and not a huge dryer and fits well in my hand."
"I had a Dyson blow dryer and it broke. ... For an almost $500 blow dryer, it should outlast $50 blow dryers from Target," said a convert. "This blow dryer is not a Dyson, but comparing it to a Dyson, it almost is. It's a bit heavier, the look is a bit more plastic than sleek, and performance is less strong on the airflow. So, it takes a few minutes longer to blow dry. The results are very similar, and overall, it's super close to the Dyson. I would give it 8/10 for how similar it is."
Cons ??
A few users say their strands have gotten tangled in this dryer's intake. "This is really the perfect blow dryer for my needs," said one. "Only drawback is that every once in a while my hair would get caught in the vent at other end of dryer, but I was able to get it out without ripping my hair out of my head."
"I thought it could be hotter, but it actually dried my thick hair rather quickly without extreme heat that would cause damage. Only gave four stars because my hair gets caught," agreed another. "It's been virtually impossible to find a dryer that doesn't do this."
"No cold-burst option was a big surprise," a final reviewer said. "However, the sleek design, portability and power make up for that missing function."
This lightweight hair dryer even has a foldable handle, which helps make it a great travel companion.
